High Court dismisses Revenue's request for reference on Income-tax Tribunal order, citing lack of jurisdiction.

The High Court of Kerala dismissed the Revenue's request for reference of questions of law arising from an Income-tax Appellate Tribunal order. The Commissioner of Income-tax's order was set aside as the Tribunal found the Commissioner had no jurisdiction under section 263. The Income-tax Officer's compliance with the order granting exemption to the assessee prevented the Commissioner from invoking revisional jurisdiction. The petition was ultimately dismissed.
